<DIV>Hello All-</DIV>
<DIV>We got word last week that public works will not be working on the 4th due to budgetary shortfalls and will not help set up/ break down the tents, tables and chairs. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#bf005f><FONT color=#000000 size=4><STRONG>We need help!</STRONG></FONT> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So far just Don, Emily, Del and myself. Don may have a graduate student volunteer from work. <BR>Also , we need to put out the farm market signs around town in the early AM on the 4th.. I plan to stencil paper to cover the signs, that say <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1246190559_1 style="CURSOR: hand; BORDER-BOTTOM: #0066cc 1px dashed">4th of July</SPAN> celebration with an arrow . We need a volunteer(s) to put them out and pick them up.</DIV>

ANTIQUE CARS!! LIVE MUSIC!!!<BR></FONT><BR>I want to point out that the bike -- along with not one but two bike<BR>helmets, and a good quality bike lock -- were donated by the<BR>Renaissance Bikes, itself a great program for youth which is under the<BR>auspices of the Engaged University<BR>(http://www.engagedu.umd.edu/programs/bicycle). So, a shout out to<BR>them for their very generous donation, and appeal to everyone to take<BR>advantage of this opportunity to win a great prize, and
contribute to<BR>the furtherance of the arts in our town.<BR><BR>(The drawing will take place on the 4th, but you need not be present to win)<BR><BR>We'll have a photo of the bike (along with more details) on the Wiki<BR>in the very near future; you'll see it's well worth the wager of a few<BR>bucks for raffle tickets -- this is a *very* nice prize. Tickets will<BR>be on sale on Thursday at the Farmers Market and of course on Saturday<BR>at the 4th of July Celebration.
